I've Got A Question, Mark.

Do you want to help the poor? Do you want to help the poor by having the ailing pope set up a seven-point plan for an international lottery for orphans? Do you wonder how you can get the pope (who is far more important than you) to hear this message and to listen to you? Well, I have the answer: climb over the guard rail onto the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, and then let world know!

Since we are on the topic of the Catholic Church, I guess it's interesting to note that the pope is still around, maybe. There was a long period of silence from March 13 until yesterday (Good Friday), when all the world got to see the pope's back on video. Why just his back? How do we even know it's the pope?

What's even more interesting to note is that, according to this article, the Universal Church might change again. There is talk of "governing by gesture and image," which, at best, is next to impossible. It seems to me--and it only seems--that the Church is hiding something.
